The Supreme Court ruled today against a Biden administration plan to provide debt forgiveness to millions of student borrowers.

That’s the (very) bad news.

The good news is that this misguided — though not surprising — 6-3 Supreme Court ruling does not have to be the end of the story on student debt relief.

This Supreme Court ruling is about just one way of confronting the student debt crisis.

The Biden administration has other tools it can use.

The Higher Education Act of 1965 gives the Department of Education authority to automatically cancel debts for certain borrowers.

And the department can also create new relief programs through the normal executive branch rulemaking process.

Public Citizen is calling on the Biden administration to use existing authority and deliver on its promise to confront the student debt crisis.

Add your name now to urge President Joe Biden to use existing Department of Education authority and deliver the debt relief he promised to millions of America’s student borrowers.

Thanks for taking action.

For progress,

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
